Green oxidation with aqueous hydrogen peroxide

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2003-06-30 DOI: 10.1039/B303160H

Abstract

Aqueous H2O2 is an ideal oxidant, when coupled with a tungstate complex and a quaternary ammonium hydrogensulfate as an acidic phase-transfer catalyst. It oxidizes alcohols, olefins, and sulfides under organic solvent- and halide-free conditions in an economically, technically, and environmentally satisfying manner.
